Frequently Asked Questions
Parenthood can be challenging, and our team is here to support you along the way. We’re available to answer your questions and help guide informed decisions focused on your child’s health and well-being.
-
What ages of children do you treat?
At KidzCare Pediatrics, our providers are experts in care for children from birth through adolescence, including:
- Newborns & Infants (0–12 months)
- Toddlers (1–4 years)
- Children (5–12 years)
- Teens & Young Adults (13–21 years)
-
When should my newborn have their first pediatric visit?
We recommend that newborns have their first pediatric visit within 48–72 hours after leaving the hospital or following a home or birthing center delivery. These early visits are an important opportunity for our providers to check your baby’s weight, feeding, and overall health, as well as answer any questions you may have as you settle in at home.
Our team is here to support you from the very beginning, and we encourage families to schedule this first visit before leaving the hospital—or shortly after delivery for home or birthing center births—to ensure a smooth transition home. Check out our Expectant Mothers page to learn more about the process of getting an infant started at KidzCare.

What should I bring to my child's first visit?
For your child’s first visit, we recommend bringing your insurance card a photo ID. Upon arrival, you will be asked to complete a series of forms, which helps our team stay up to date on your child’s medical history, preferences, and current needs so we can make the most of your time together.
If you’re bringing a newborn, please bring any hospital or birth records you received, as well as feeding details and all discharge instructions. For families transferring from another practice, we encourage you to have your child’s previous medical records sent ahead of time or bring a copy with you to ensure continuity of care.
-
Do you offer telehealth visits for minor illnesses?
No, we do not currently offer telehealth visits.
-
Do you offer same-day appointments?
We strive to offer every child an appointment as soon as possible at all KidzCare Pediatrics locations and reserve these visits for children with urgent or sick care needs. We make every effort to accommodate same-day visits at your primary location whenever possible.
Appointments can be scheduled by calling 910-483-7337.
